I found a Radeon 7970 new in box for $225 it has four HDMI and two DVI should I jump on it?

I assume you mean 4 Display Ports (or Mini-DP)? Never seen a 7970 with 4 HDMI ports.

As far as I know, there's an ASUS card and perhaps an MSI with 4 Display Ports, but please link me to confirm.

Either way, $225 is a great price and there aren't too many scenarios in which I'd advise against getting a 7970 at that price. Just need to confirm it's not some shitty scaled down PCB with a cooler that barely keeps it below 90.

EDIT: Just checked PCPartPicker, and there are now 8 7970s under $300, the cheapest being an ASUS for $268 that has two DVI ports and 4 display ports -- Is that the one you're talking about? It's a 3-slot card.
